The Michelin Cross Climate + seems too good to be true. Loses almost nothing to the PS4S in the dry and adds both durability and winter/snow performance. Seems like those mounted on some 18s that clear the brakes would be the ideal tire for the M3P.
I have 4S's on my Z4MC, and DWS's on my Golf R. Gotta have a winter-compatible tire on one of them. The 4S's are spectacular on the M.
You are missing 235/35R-20 MICHELIN PILOT ALPIN PA4 N-SPEC N0(PORSCHE), ASYMMETRIC, GT4 XL. They can be had for $250 new and are absolutely amazing 20” winter tires that can be used as all seasons if needed. I traveled in April to Yosemite and Chicago winter ice storm for 90 miles in blizzard and they performed flawlessly. They were fine in my Arizona portion of the trip at 35C. I have OEMs Pilots 4S 20” and the Alpins have more thread left even though I drove more miles on them. I have 27k miles in a few days under a year on my P3D and I am not getting the Pilots 4S when these run out because they are too soft.
I've driven the F80 M3 on these, and they were fantastic. I had the factory Conti SportContacts on my E90, and then switched to the PSS tires, and it was night and day. For daily driving in temperate climates, there's no better tire than the P4S at the moment.
I just put a set on my S6 replacing the factory Pirelli's. the Pirelli's were garbage and lasted a whopping 16K miles. The road noise from the Michelin is way quieter and the grip is much better especially on initial turn-in.
Buy the Michelins ASAP. You'll be surprised at how much of a difference you will feel and hear.
Very happy with my X-Ice.
I have Michelin X-Ice 3 s on both a Dodge truck and a Hyundai Accent. They work excellently, although I noticed on the Accent they are not a great rain tire.
I only run Michelins on everything I drive, I've never had issues with the tires, and I figure if the cost of michelins saves me an accident, then they have paid for themselves
I did 215/45/18 xice3 on OE wheel for more sidewall, If I did it again I would do stock size 2254018. I lost a little bit of responsiveness/ punch from the 1/2\" taller overall diameter and also some curb protection from the 1/2\" narrower tire.
